<p>What would adcoms think of this.</p>

<p>23 reading ACT
650 reading SAT</p>

<p>29 (10 essay) ACT
580 (9 essay) SAT</p>

<p>What would adcoms most likely conclude from these scores.</p>

2

<p>time to bump this sucker.</p>

3

<p>they probably wouldn't give it a thought--too many apps to review. they'd use the best score in making an evaluation.</p>

<p>many schools recognize that kids can have a bad day due to nerves, exhaustion (test is way too long)</p>

<p>good luck</p>

4

<p>should i send in those ACT scores in then?</p>

5

<p>I would probably feel more comfortable with the SAT scores.</p>

6

<p>depends on what you got on the other sections, i would send both</p>

7

<p>here are my scores:</p>

<p>math: 750
writing: 580
reading: 650</p>

<p>ACT:23 reading
english: 29 (10 essaY)
math: 32
science 30</p>

<p>i got my SAT II scores back. Lets just say i'm quite disappointed:</p>

<p>bio: 530 (took bio soph year so I was rusty. current bio class hasn't been very productive)</p>

<p>math II: 750
Math I: 770</p>

<p>now what do you guys think. should i send in ACT?</p>

8

<p>Send SAT. However, sending ACT will not destroy you. Adcoms know how to nuance these things. Not much to worry about.</p>

9

<p>oh and i'm going into premed. thats the main reason why I've been contemplating if i should send science scores or not since a 530 bio score might send off signals that I'm not a strong science person. a 30 science may look decently nice.</p>

<p>hmm</p>
